Golf Course Review Marshall Canyon Golf Course La Verne California
Reviewed by: weber, coto de caza
Golf Playing Conditions 5.98 GOOD
Took a chance that Marshall Canyon would be open, and they are in fact open, at least for today. As expected, not very crowded. Playing golf now is strange, because you kind of think this might be the last round for who knows how long ?
As per the last review, greens very good, faster than they looked. Held shots well (Thanks to the rains I suspect) The rough is absolutely brutal in spots, so need to keep it in the fairway. Bunkers were a mixed bag, wet, compacted, but at times OK.
I enjoy playing here, but today I just could not get “my head in the game” very distracted.

I always enjoy playing this course because I rarely have any difficulty getting out early, coupled with the great senior rate of $15.75, and the wonderful views and having all the deer around, is just so cool!
However, this morning it was as busy as I have seen it, quite a few people waiting for the shop to open, but we were still able to get out first and moved around well until we ran into a 5-some on #14. They did allow us to play through on #16, which was good.
Every time I play here I comment how great it would be if the greens would roll as quickly as they had the first time I played here. Well, today, the greens were just like I remembered. It was fun watching the shots role out after hitting the greens. (Just like Augusta National – well maybe not just like Augusta, that would be a stupid comparison) But on some of the downhill putts, I’d bet they rolled 12-13 on the stimp. Great fun to play with the greens being so quick. The rest of the course was typical Marshall Canyon. Fairways mostly decent with some areas needing attention. Bunkers had enough sand, but could use some raking. Tee boxes for the most part were good, not too chewed up.
This is such a wonderful, fun, golf course to play under these conditions. It’s visually appealing, enough of a challenge to keep your interest, but still affords lots of birdie opportunities. Great way to begin the week !
